Hello,
I mailed Richard Stallman a while ago regarding a few things including
what he thought about openmoko and his answer was:
I could endorse it if they get rid of the plan to use non-free
software for the GPS.
I don't think the answer surprise anyone, but atleast we know for sure
now. And i really hope we can replace the non-free GPS software as
soon as possible or atleast before the public release.

As for me, I'm have to ask few "unfair" questions.
1) Why there should be some closed-source daemon which does some unknown
things?And why should I trust it, if I have no idea what it does?
2) As I understand, to fully use features of AGPS I should send some
data to some server over network, without really having any idea what

Basically - the worst cases, no.
You can completely ignore AGPS - it isn't needed unless you need a fast
position within a couple of minutes of the phone being off in a drawer
for months.
If you're using the phone normally, then you never need to download any
assistance data at all.
